I have a 1986 M1009 CUCV which was converted to 12 Volt operation before I bought it. Recently I bought a complete AN/VRC-47 radio set. I forgot that the radio set needed 24 volts.
So now I need to convert 12 Volts to 24 Volts. I'm not sure of what type of step up convertor I need and what...
I did remediation on the small amount of rust on the floor. I also found a few cracks in the floor by the seat mount bolts. I welded them up. Used rust kill and repainted the entire floor and interior before installing the rubber mat.
I didn't use the jute padding under the rubber floor as that...
Installed my newly repainted door cards and floor mat. All the rubber for the doors and rear gate have been replaced. Also installed the pioneer tool rack.
Next I need to get the new dashboard painted...
CUCV M1009 street side radio bracket W/blue prints
Picked up a NOS street side radio bracket kit with all the hardware. As in the pic below. As a bonus all the blue prints and installation papers were included. I haven't had the time to take pic's of the blue prints.

Haven't posted any updates in months. But All the door and tailgate rubber have been replaced. Interior painted and the dash board is in pieces waiting for parts. meanwhile I've painted / painting the exterior. I used Rapco paints and it's turning out nice. I also got a Smittybuilt "GEAR" rear...
Was looking at Gov Planet and saw a M1009 for sale with a Pioneer tool rack mounted above the left rear tire wheel well. Was this a common practice?
Pic below.
Replaced the felt in the glass tracks on my M1009's tailgate and also replaced the rubber window wipes. Lubed the rear glass regulator while I had the cover off.
I never want to do the tailgate glass window wipes again. They were a real pain. I also replaced the missing rubber "bumper" which...
